Load Correction Device for Magnetic Pickups, Compact & Light Weight The Dragster is a load correction device designed to restore the full, rich tone you lose when you plug your gui tar into a buffered input such as a wireless system. Dragster makes passive pickups "think" (and sound like) they're connected directly to an amplifier by simulating the impedance of an amplifier by allowing you to adjust the load on the pickup. Guitar amplifiers are typically high impedance inputs and pickups sound their best when connected to an amp. Buffered inputs are typically low impedance and pickups can sound "thin, weak and brittle" when connected directly to them. Examples of buffered inputs are wireless transmitters, digital effects, mixers, sound cards and recorders. Dragster is inserted between the guitar and the buffered input. The thumb wheel lets you dial-in the perfect impedance for the most natural sound. Result? Your guitar tone regains its warmth - it feels 'right' again and your performance sounds great! Dragster is a compact, passive device featuring 1/4" connectors, lightweight aluminum construction and a single 'thumb wheel' control. The Dragster may be sewn onto a guitar strap for use with a wireless transmitter, or be hidden away on a pedalboard. Features: Load correction for guitar pickups Emulates the impedance of an amp Easy-to-use thumb wheel adjusts DragTM control Completely passive - no power required!
